Women Walking With Pails

Building a new home in rural Zambia takes a lot of time and effort. On May 30, 2008, in the small village of Chiposa in the Luapula province, much of the community helped to build a home of mud bricks and dried grass for a struggling family in the village. The photograph I took, shows six women carrying pails of water from a nearby stream to the men who mix the water into mud to make new bricks and mortar.
